The Player King

 Written and Directed by Ryan Stevens,
Faculty Supervised by Sarah Barker

Undergraduate student Ryan Stevens directs his original play about a theater company working on an incoming production of Hamlet. When an egotistical actor is snubbed for the titular part, he takes manners into his own hands to manipulate his fellow actors and superiors. Simultaneously, two quick-mouthed set designers, smelling chicanery in the works, set out to establish themselves as the chief architects of whimsy in the theater and maintain order, or at least their version of it.
